FRIDAY 6TH JANUARY

The mild weather is creating havoc with the hedgies and many are still awake here at the rescue every single hog has woken up owing to the mild conditions -- if you have a hog still visiting your garden please keep putting some food out as there will be little natural food for them -

 
 

 

WINTER ADVICE

We are currently full and are advising people with underweight hogs which are still coming to their gardens to keep feeding them and if the weather worsens to take them into ashed or garage in a safe box with plenty of hay/straw/paper/towels and keep the food and water topped up. Any very small hogs under 300 gms are to be treated as an emergency and you will need to contact us direct or via castleview vets in wakefield .01924374111

We are receiving calls about second litters and are filling up with small underweight youngsters and newborns who will be unable to survive the winter . -- . ANY HEDGEHOG UNDER 500 GMS IS TOO SMALL TO HIBERNATE and will need care and heat,any hog with an obvious injury must be taken to a vet for advice --w ehave had several in with front legs missing and were too late to save them .

 

HEDGEHOGS IN DECLINE --a recent report has shown that the hog population is now down to one million -- with an estimated loss of 30,000 a year -- this is worrying news esspecially a swego into winter --please continue to feed your hedgehogs leaving out some dry cat food and water as last year w e took in our last hog on the 15 th december and you can make the difference to some of the many little ones still out there

 

GO CAT -- Please help to feed our hogs in winter s our food bill has gone up to £40 per week -- if you can add an extra box of go cat or whiskers to your shopping we would appreciate it--we use the meat based ones and it was brilliant when so many of you did this for us in october as you provided the equivalent of two sacks which lasted for two weeks .
